WebWalkers, WebWigglers, & WebWanderers begin!

Our first programs of fall have begun, nature clubs with the theme, "It's OAK-a! Let's GO!" We will be observing the web of life around oak trees. This week we hiked to a red oak that had recently fallen down, climbed on it and talked about the various ways it will be used: to mill boards for our boardwalk, as firewood, as mulch, and as wood to rot and return to the forest to provide the habitat for other trees to grow.
